Victim's widow sues widow of suicide pilot

The widow of the Internal Revenue Service worker killed when a plane smashed into the agency's Austin office is suing the pilot's widow.

Authorities say 53-year-old Andrew Joseph Stack III deliberately crashed his single-engine plane into the building last Thursday in a suicide attack. Vernon Hunter, a 68-year-old manager in the IRS office, also was killed.

Stack left behind a long Internet posting blaming the IRS for personal problems spanning decades.

The lawsuit filed Monday in Austin says Sheryl Stack should have warned others about her husband.

Daniel Ross, attorney for Hunter's widow Valerie Hunter, says the lawsuit against Sheryl Stack seeks to determine if the pilot left behind insurance policies or other assets.
